OPLESE's engine bay - NICE :)

[Sorted]

Seen this car at Knox Car Show (VIC) on 08/01/2008 so took some engine bay shots........

Pretty sure ppl have seen it drifting at Shepp Nats with all the Nismo Gizmos, great effort by a Ford Boy flying the Ford Flag with the rices

Here are some engine pics...........

The 6 trumpets are the sexiest thing that ever graced the e series engine bay.

Yeah James's engine bay is sweet as! Seen it at Springnats, theres more pics of it in the Springnats thread.

[Sick EB]

so how do those trumpet things work? throttle body? air filter? accelator cable?

i havnt been able to get my head around how it works.

btw thats a nice bay

[webby_191189]

Each one is a single throttle body. There all hooked up via a linkage to the accelerator cable so they open at the same time. You should be running a fitler over them but for show he would probably take it off since the trumpets are polished

[LTDHO]

Very neat. Well done.

[DEVL-XR]

Yeah at Springnats he had red filters over them. Heres 2 pics.

[1FLYRYD]

that has gotta be one of the tuffest things i've!!!!!!

[MADED-6]

is there any pics of the car and or power figures.
cheers josh.

[private9]

Yeah power figures would be very interesting. I wouldn't have thought that one of these things would have the revs or airflow throughput to justify this, so would be good to see some figures!

[DEVL-XR]

I cant quite recall the exact figures he was telling me at Springnats buy pretty sure it was around 165rwkw, I could be wrong tho. Pretty sure it has JMM DEV5 kit in it, EF motor, trumpets etc.

[Walkinshaw]

very cool setup. Should be an easy 185-200rwkw there

[JAZSXY]

Any pics of the whole car?

[DEVL-XR]

From Springnats 2006







The DRIFT6 plates were only for show.

[MISSN2]

very nice, drifts pretty well too

[futura]

love the trumpets! wonder how the induction roar sounds like?
if he cleaned up the coil pack and leads, it will look even better.

[wazzab4]

Does anyone know were you can get trumpet kits like this brand new or rebuilt from.
I am building a motor and want to get some trumpets.

[ILLaViTaR]

Damn that looks good with no battery. Also barely even see any looms.

[DBourne]

wazza, it's a 6 throttlebody setup. it has been done by my mates over @ fordmods if you want some more information on it

[RACINGdork]

this thing wont be running the throttle bodys for much longer, he is in the middle of doing "somthing" to it.

Turbo?

[CRN]

looks clean and neat, I like it. Trumpets look awesome!

The car used to have 172kw's .

It's in the last stage of a turbo conversion and I think it almost looks tuffer then the trumpets. I was looking for more power so i can smoke the tires in 4th gear wkile I'm drifting on the bigger tracks. :eclipsee_

[oplese]

The TRUMPETS are for also $1600.oo

I watched you at SpringNats - sweet driving but yeah you needed a bit more power to show those import boys up - but GREAT effort keeping the FORD flag flying

Have you got any more pics of your machine? or the turbo build>?

[MotherNatureVer2]

Keep us posted oplese. Have been hoping you would pop in to let us know how your going with this car.

[DEVL-XR]

James good to hear from ya! Last time I seen you was up at Deca when I was in Dylan's car out on the skid pan!
You'll have to post up a few pics for us when the turbo is completed. Keep us posted with dyno figures too! Great work mate, probably see you at Springnats again later this year!

[oplese]

I have heeps of photo's i would'nt have a clue how to set them up
